LA

By -
After leaving Santa Fe early on Sunday morning we arrived in LA at about 1pm. The stopover in Denver was much more pleasant... However, we walked all the way to our gate to find out the we need to go half the way back as our gate had changed. Thank goodness we had plenty of time.

I'm not sure that Airport Transfer drivers get tickets for speeding here....our driver was crazy - thank goodness we were second stop...I seriously felt safer on Space Mountain at Magic Kingdom (the high speed roller coaster in the dark)!!!

We spent the afternoon orientating ourselves in LA. We are staying just above Hollywood Boulevarde so we took a quick walk along the Boulevarde to check out the stars. They go on and on forever.
We saw some "interesting" sights...but I might leave that story for Brayden to share! Got harassed by every single tour company and dressed character - not to mention the "upcoming stars" signing CDs!!!! LA is a very very interesting place!!!

We headed back to the hotel for a swim and then headed later on to 'Hard Rock Cafe' for dinner. It was very yummy...and the music was great!

Today (Monday) we have spent the day around Hollywood Boulevarde as well. We had a reasonably lazy morning, breakfast at the hotel restaurant and then headed out and about.

First stop was Madamme Tussaud's. We have so many great photos with the stars. Brayden got a wax mould of his hand making the scout sign made. We also went to a 3D Marvel Superheroes show...which according to Brayden was 4D because it involved us getting wet and other special effects. It was an awesome show!

We had lunch at 'Johnny Rockets' the home of the original hamburger. Nice hamburgers...great location with the older style cafe with juke boxes at each table etc.

We spent the rest of the afternoon strolling along the Boulevarde, shopping (nothing much bought).

We have had a late dinner tonight at Dave and Buster's - like a sports bar...there has been a Monday night football match on...they are crazy about their football. A very loud atmosphere...a yummy meal and lots of fun.

One day left in LA before boarding the plane to head home. 

( Sorry about no photos...Again Tech issues have caused our issue)

Erawan Museum

What an amazing day! After a magnificent breakfast at our hotel it was time to check out! At 10am, Geoff, Chalor, Poi and Arnut picked us up from our hotel. We travelled down Sukhumvit Rd with no idea where we were going! Geoff didn't want us to know...it was a surprise!! Well, as we turned the corner our breath was taken away by the most amazing three headed elephant.  We were heading to the Erawan Museum. The Erawan Museum, according to the founder Lek Viriyaphant's ideal wish, was aimed to serve as a showcase of the spirit of Asia where the essence of Arts and 4 major religions have been preserved in order to make known to Asian people and the world the foundation of the eastern civilisation cultivated and transmitted through the philosophical inspiration. An absolutely amazing place.... We headed to Mega Bang Na for lunch and treated the youngsters to the last western meal for 8 days ( McDonalds - Arnut was in his element!) We then travelled nearly 2 hours to get to Pak Hai

A rainy day in Singapore

We woke to this this morning... Rain and a storm.  Our plans changed a little as we didn’t feel Gardens By the Bay would be worth it in the rain.  Jason started the day with a traditional Asian style breakfast... We then headed off to see the ‘Merlion’ The Merlion is a form of welcome to the visitors to Singapore. A real tourist thing to do is pose with the Merlion with the water entering your mouth...we gave it a shot!! We decided to head to Orchard Road for some window shopping. How many Louis Vuitton or Victoria’s Secret shops can you have in one stretch??? The hands down winner though was the Magnum store...where you could create your own Magnum!!! We didn’t but watched a couple of other aussies create theirs! I found another scrapbooking store. Absolutely gorgeous. The walls and store were lined with gorgeous projects. Lots of great things to buy but I actually walked out with nothing 🤪 So unlike me!!! I also went to the store under our hotel...with nothing purchased there either
